There are four characteristics for China's evidence classification system; it has certain formalistic tendency; it established close-ended classification system; it tends to have specific classification methods; its regimentation establishment is quite unique. Evidence falls into two categories of evidential material and evidential methods. Both primal and derivative material can be used as evidence. The reformation of evidence classification system includes the switch f rom"examination, checking notes"to"investigation, t rail notes,"and the switch f rom"authentication conclusion"to"authentication conclusion and authenticator presentation."At the same time witness's witness should be extended to include both common witness and expert witness. The classification of audio and visual material can be kept. Yet it should exclude computer material and subject computer material to relevant evidential types. |
